Behold the Word (Very God of Very God)

Behold the Word the Father spoke
To bring forth all creation
Is born a child in Bethlehem
O blessed incarnation

CHORUS
Very God of very God
The true Light of Light,
For us and our salvation came
That holy Christmas night

Behold His covenantal Word
Assumes our lowly station
As tiny infant hands enfold
The hope of every nation

His Word of promise we behold
Embodied now in Jesus
This baby wrapped in swaddling clothes
Has come here to redeem us

O praise the Word of God made flesh
With angels sing his glory
With magi fall before his feet
With shepherds tell his story
